🧵 Attention, Fellow SFF Artists and Authors -- here is my response to Must Read Magazines, after they presented an Asimov's art contract expecting me to waive all Moral Rights and Copyright to my art. And, I would strongly advise the following to my fellow pros…. 1/

That reminds me, I wrote an essay on this feeling (and the work of Leslie Feinberg) pretty recently. “I write this because I want to bring disability, pain, and illness into the image of butchness and I want to show that it has always been there.” butchanarchy.medium.com/butch-abilit...

every time a queer woman says they need "a butch" to do some DIY a femme with a toolbox in her car loses a feather from her wings

People think covering a NASA launch is super glamorous but it’s usually more “eating an adult lunchable out of a cooler in the trunk of your car” than it is rocket launches. Can’t beat that view though.

@sfwa.org: bro wtf

a love-hate letter to the game of my childhood 😌

windows into the soul

Glad I got to become disabled in a world that already had Alice Wong @sfdirewolf.bsky.social in it. I learned so much from her incredible writing & activism. May her memory be a blessing, & may we all continue her work. Easiest way to do it? WEAR A MASK. Protect yourself & the vulnerable around you.

I am gutted to learn of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social (Alice Wong’s) passing. She was always a warm friend, a wonderful spirit, and someone who fostered my own growth. She helped me see that, as a #disabled person with chronic illness, I matter—I am whole. I’ll be posting some of Alice’s work. ❤️ forever
